Lyrics
Standin' on the rooftop, just outta earshot
Lookin' at this gangsta guy
Thinkin' he's a hotshot, pourin' me a big shot
Try'na get me drunk and high
He wishes to be seen with me in his limousine
And he says we'll have a real good time
Well, X-X-O, but I want you to know
Every single night, in the lights I'll be sparklin' bright
I'm just a party girl, try'na get my drinks for free from you
If you hold me tight, it's alright, let the fire ignite
Well, I'm a party girl, and I'm just warning you
You don't get it, you just don't get it
You've already forgotten even though I just said it
Came tonight to put my work on display
Bringin' New York down to St. Tropez
You don't get it, you just don't get it
You've already forgotten even though I just said it
(One) I won't fall in love
(Two) I won't ever stop
(Three) I'm partying all night
(Four) I'm gonna make it pop
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Oh-aye-aye
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Oh-aye-aye
Kissin' on your white yacht, show me what you got, got
Play a little rock 'n' roll
On an island HopStop, maybe we should dot, dot, dot
(Lose control)
Do you think it's really mean that I'm only on the scene
'Cause I want a little danger, boy?
Well, X-X-O, but I told you so
Every single night, in the lights I'll be sparklin' bright
I'm just a party girl, try'na get my drinks for free from you
If you hold me tight, it's alright, let the fire ignite
Well, I'm a party girl, and I'm just warning you
You don't get it, you just don't get it
You've already forgotten even though I just said it
Came tonight to put my work on display
Bringin' New York down to St. Tropez
You don't get it, you just don't get it
You've already forgotten even though I just said it
(One) I won't fall in love
(Two) I won't ever stop
(Three) I'm partying all night
(Four) I'm gonna make it pop
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Oh-aye-aye
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Oh-aye-aye
Oh, it's not about us,
Just forget about us tonight
Put your cigarette down
Baby, light up the town beside me
Whoa-oh-oh
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You don't get it, you just don't get it
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You've already forgotten even though I just said it
You don't get it, you just don't get it
You've already forgotten even though I just said it
Came tonight to put my work on display
Bringin' New York down to St. Tropez
You don't get it, you just don't get it
You've already forgotten even though I just said it
(One) I won't fall in love
(Two) I won't ever stop
(Three) I'm partying all night
(Four) I'm gonna make it pop
